Hello, I have also been dreaming of an electric powered 33 stradale replica. The gorgeous shape of the T33 is impossible to beat, but I have a number of tweaks I would like to make otherwise to suspension, aero, cargo capacity, and of course powertrain. Have you progressed in your work on the electric inspiration?

for what its worth... it is the most beautiful car ever made but it is tiny. I saw one at Monza a few/many years ago and was shocked at how very small it was. I am 6'2" and would never fit... like a Lotus Europa only pretty.

Fair point - I wish I could have the chance to see one of these up close in person for a true gauge of size. Luckily I am not a very big guy, only about 5'10", and would expect I could fit into even a small car. That being said, I have intentions of a full frame redesign into a tube-frame style chassis, rather than the traditional aluminum H-pillars, which would also afford me the opportunity to tweak some interior dimensions. I am working now on my PhD in Mechanical Engineering, and after designing the suspension system for my university's Formula SAE race car I am struck by the desire to take on a 10-15 year project of designing and building my own car. I've been keeping up with heavy maintenance on my mk1 Audi TT including a transmission swap among other things, and love the feeling of working on cars. I know that with a tremendous amount of work and some fantastic connections to other engineering designers, this may not be an impossible feat!

Here you go knock yourself out so to speak. I actually stumbled on the the beginnings of this in the 90s on a trip to the UK. Then in 2009 I visited a friend who I knew was working on the car.
The original concept was a composite tub by Darrian and Roush V8 with Quafe box the body and some of the parts are in the pictures. The body is the original prototype which was made from the original buck was first made in ally a mold taken from the ally version. Screens made in Sweden of al places Wheels made by IMAGE. then the project sold.

Thanks for the encouragement! That has been my plan from the beginning more or less, but I am using the T33 as the primary source of inspiration for the project, working to stay true to most of the body contours while changing materials, dynamics, and performance specs to meet the modern technologies. At this moment there are many ideas, but few have been put to action yet. I am gathering and researching to determine all that I might need for my own build.

My thoughts exactly, close copy is one thing but tool room copy is another there are a fey around and the wheels dont look correct Alfa 33 Stradale Prototipo Body Set
This is a car done in Sweden(?) called a ROXGTv8

Fantastic and a Montreal engine great to see. 25 years ago I got offered a 2.5Ltr 33 engine from the Tasman series...$75,000. aud. and recently saw on in pieces, even the cam follower buckets were drilled full of holes.

I first saw the 33 Stradale Prototipo in 1991 at the “Alfa Romeo Sport Through Design” exhibition and ever since that day dreamed of one day owning one. However, with just a handful of production cars ever made they never come to the market and, if one did, the price would be stratospheric...

There are some fantastic race cars and cars of that era the ALFA 33 Stradale is my favorite, however other cars 206SP Dino, 906 Porsche, Alpine 220, ABARTH 1000/1300 and my favorite of those is the Lufthansa Coupe, Bizzarini P538, DeTomasso Valellunga and Ginetta G12 jewels of a time never to be repeated

Push hard and live

When I last spoke with CA about their kit, they told me that the current iteration of their frame could not accommodate a Monty engine. Too long. They were hoping to resolve the problem, but I got busy in other directions.

Thought I would start a thread to document the restoration of my Jr. Z. I bought the car from a long time friend last year. He imported it from Italy in the mid-80s along with a 1300 Z. So I'm the third owner and it has the grand total of 23,000 miles on it. The original owner raced it in...

Attached is a photo of the original (I believe) windshield washer fluid bag in my 1970 JrZ. The bag is cracked and I've had no luck in finding a correct replacement. The spacing between the mounting lugs is 140mm. The attaching clips for the bag are welded in place (again, I believe original)...

Does anyone have first hand knowledge as to the original build specs on a second series vs first series TI Super? Also I was corrected by two knowledgeable experts abroad that there were no panels or doors made out of aluminum but originally fabricated of steel like the regular street going...

I started the tear down of my JrZ for paint. I would consider the car in very good condition however, when you start pulling things apart on an almost 50 year old car nuts seize, rubber crumbles, etc. etc. I've been acquiring parts (good used & NOS) for a number of years. That being said I will...
